Oyster reef loss has been a problem through out the U.S mainly due to over harvesting or diseases. Down in Central Florida, boating activity loosens the oysters from the sand that end up piled above sea level and die. Dr. Walters created a system of oyster mats to rebuild miles of lost oyster reefs.

    Wow, I wasn't aware of the importance of oysters. I figured since they're a bacteria, that they were a bad thing. I guess you learn something new everyday, good post.
